Ticket Stub: Palacio Real De Madrid

In the courtyard of the Royal Palace

Headless Mannequins were everywhere outside the Palace

Taken from one side of the courtyard to the other

Catedral de Santa Maria la Real de la Almudena just outside the palace gates.

Front entrance to the Palace.

Unfortunately i was not able to take photos from inside the Palace but the art, tapestries and furnishings were very grand. Lots of detail in every piece. It only cost me 5 euro as i had a student card and so the 5 euro i saved i used 4 euro to rent a little device that was programed to English for me that you held like a phone to hear all about the palace and all the rooms that are on display. It was quite a handy device, literally. 
The only downfall is as the rooms are roped of and lots of people go to see the palace there can be a bit of a tight squeeze.
But it was a beautiful sunny day and was wonderful walking around and learning some history.

Hasta Luego America!

Well I'm traveling to Spain today in 6 hours with a stop over in Dallas, Texas. I'm very excited but also nervous at the same time. I'm not so good at flying. I tend to suffer from anxiety but I love to travel so I just deal with it. Mostly through alcohol. 
I have had a great time in Phoenix and will miss everyone here. I have felt very welcomed and loved by the people i have had the pleasure of meeting and also from the people i have know a long time that live here. 
So i'll say see you later and i'll send postcards.  
By the way today just happens to be Cinco De Mayo so maybe i'll drink margaritas at the airport to help celebrate.
